Death From Above Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Any ceremony that ends with half naked buxom dancing women, and explosions, is alright by me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie M. Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Pretty fun Olympics overall. My wish for 2020 is that Canada can turn all this young raw basketball talent we have into a legit team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 You'll need a strong-handed yet fair-minded coach, may I suggest Bobby Knight after he's deported? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 BTW - so Nick can thump his chest some more. Maryland ended up having more gold medals than all but 5 countries (18 total medals overall would place them 14th overall) 11 of the 18 came from Phelps and Ledecky 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoBaltimore Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 I did so much chest thumping early on that it was borderline annoying looking back. So at this point I'll just smile and be proud. But it truly is a wonderful feeling. Thanks for sharing. Didn't see all of the closing ceremony, but did see Japan's part of it with Mario and all that. I'll admit that Rio wasn't a complete shitshow like I initially thought. But hot damn I'm so excited for Tokyo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evilwaldo Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 We got Hello Kitty and Mario to wet our appetites. Just wait until they mix in Pokemon, Sonic, Final Fantasy, Gamera, Godzilla, King Kong, manga, and hentai. The opening ceremony will be wonderful.

Looks like Russian athletes have been doping. Like ALL of them, including 55(!!) gold medalists. Subsequently, Russia may be banned from the Rio Games. So.... The CIA/FBI/NSA are all of the opinion that this was one of the causes of Russian fuckery with the election. Putin believed the WADA was doing America's bidding, so he vowed (and apparently, got) revenge. http://deadspin.com/intelligence-agencies-russia-hacked-dnc-in-part-becaus-1790911573 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolfan in NYC Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 2024 Update. Rome has dropped their bid. They follow Hamburg and Boston in citing public opposition in dropping out. It's now down to Paris, Budapest, and Los Angeles. With LA being "by far" the favorite to win. Vote comes in September. http://www.bizjournals.com/losangeles/news/2016/09/27/los-angeles-favorite-to-win-2024-olympics.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 NBC finally grows a brain, and will not hold off airing things live and hold it for Prime Time. So the US finally gets to watch everything the same time the rest of the World does. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dewar Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 The IOC is promising Canada and the United States that their hockey games will not be played overnight in North America if they agree to come to the 2018 Winter Olympics. NBC apparently has told the league that games will not be aired on NBC or NBCSN during the 2018 Olympics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly Obama not winning the olympic bid might be the best thing he ever did for this country (and it's on the short list of best things any president has ever done for this country). IOC is basically an organized crime organization and the olympics are a sucker bet that drain the $$$ of whichever city is foolish enough to host them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah, not that I wouldn't have loved Olympic baseball at Wrigley. My point is that all the TCOTs, Freepers and Real 'Muricans who were RAAAAAAGE spittle-spewing over the very idea of that socialist Obama trying to get the Olympics to HIS city (never mind that Bush was the one who got the ball rolling) will be falling all over themselves to put Trumpy on Mount Rushmore for the exact same thing.
